text: We actually talked about this in my psych class today about how they used to starve rats and then have them run down this path that went to a fork in the road. On the left side was food, while the right side was nothing. Initially the rat would go down one side either finding the food and pigging out or not finding the food and going back the other direction and then finding the food. They repeated this experiment and found that the rat would learn and keep going to the left knowing there was food. They did it 100 times and the rat went to the left 100 times, they then took the food and switched it to the right and showed the rat the left side (no food) and the right side (food) and 70 of the 100 rats made the recognition in their brain and made connection that the food was now on the right side.
